Wait. I thought a sexualized culture of extreme permissiveness empowered women?

Ya know, slut-shaming, get Trump out of my Vagina, and all that stuff?

Thought their line was that being a porn whore was empowering.
Or is that still a line they throw at convenience?

Starbucks just playing to their customer base, Tumblr not so much.

it’s not just Tumblr, apparently FB is looking into banning any chat of sex, including slang terms.

~~~

Claiming that porn objecfies women only counts when the primary consumer of the porn is determined to be straight, white, men. If it’s women objectfying women, or men, or if it’s LGPints&Quarts objectifying each other, it’s okay too, because that’s free expression and priviledged sexuality.

Just like most anything else these days, the object is not freedom, but instead some sort of counter-balancing or over-compensation of equity in liberties toward targeted identity groups. Part of feeling empowered is the application of power, or in other words, getting to dole out rights.

The point of this is to put the filtering infrastructure in place.

Once it’s in place and everybody’s accepted that as a fact of life, they’ll change the filter conditions to include things like Free Republic, Breitbart, InfoWars, etc.

I may have seen this script play out once or fifty times before. Notice who the proponents of this are - the same folks who have been doing their damn best to make sure no conservative has a voice.

Behaviors that are undesirable/unpopular but not criminal are the canary in the coal mine. Anyone with a plan against you is going to test it on an easy target like that first.

It was probably a lot of women who wanted to look at smut on Tumblr because they didn’t want the stigma of actually visiting a “porn” website.

Ironic, as the Starbuck logo absolutely is stylized porn.
